The members of this
lively group are composed of all ages and have become expert musicians and
vocalists. At the annual Solano Stroll in Albany, California, the band is a
favorite and attracts large crowds who instantly feel the breeze of trade winds and the
rustle of coco palms.
The band has performs at the Solano Stroll since 1997. They have also performed
at the annual and most popular among Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart, Ukulele Festival of
Northern California held in Hayward, California; and the Aloha Festival in San
Francisco. They can also be seen occasionally hosting Aloha Sunday Open
Microphone at the Templebar Restaurant in Berkeley, California.
Many members have been in the band since its inception in 1995 and many more have
joined the group as beginners to become expert musicians.
